    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi,<br>
      <br>
      Sorry for the late reply.<br>
      <br>
      The problem is that your catch data has a large number of ages
      that don't have tunning data. The default model for a4a was not
      written for those cases. Check <br>
      <br>
      a4afit <- sca(gul0001, gul.indices)<br>
      wireframe(data~year+age, data=harvest(a4afit))<br>
      <br>
      F in the last ages gets loose and the fit is quite poor.<br>
      <br>
      Once that you want to compare with XSA we can take the same kind
      of approach, which is to force the oldest ages Fs the same. In
      this case the model will fit one coefficient (times the year
      coefficients) for ages older than 18, which mean they are fit
      together, which I think is slightly different from XSA. Note that
      you have a large +group in some years. <br>
      <br>
      This can be done using the "replace" method.<br>
      <br>
      fmod <- ~te(replace(age, age>18, 18), year, k = c(6, 10), bs
      = "tp")<br>
      a4afit <- sca(gul0001, gul.indices, fmodel=fmod)<br>
      <br>
      For comparison<br>
      xsafit <- FLXSA(gul0001, gul.indices, FLXSA.control())<br>
      <br>
      wireframe(data~year+age|qname,
      data=as.data.frame(FLQuants(a4a=harvest(a4afit),
      xsa=xsafit@harvest)))<br>
      <br>
      Now, the one million dollars question is why you want to replicate
      XSA ;)<br>
      <br>
      Best<br>
      <br>
      EJ<br>
      <br>
      ps: Take a look at the residuals and you'll see that both fits
      have some odd residuals. In a4a you have a couple of simple
      options to improve this fit, like including a year trend in the
      catchability of the trawl cpue, etc.<br>
      <br>
      bubbles(age~year|qname, <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:data=xsafit@index.res">data=xsafit@index.res</a>)<br>
      plot(residuals(a4afit, gul0001, gul.indices))<br>

              <div>Well that solved the problem (trimming the indices
